Mary (et al), We have discussed many times the George W. Tucker who was in White County, Tennessee. He was there at the same time that my Aaron Tucker was there. I have always felt that he must somehow be very closely connected to Aaron. Recently, I have been corresponding with a descendant of the Lemuel Tucker family. This Lemuel "Lemmie" Tucker was in Dent Co. MO in the 1870 census. He was born in TN. In 1860, he is in Ozark Co. MO. He is said to have ha had a brother named Leroy. Remember that on the tax lists of White Co. TN, there was a Leroy Tucker. Nobody knows for sure (at least that I am aware of), but this Leroy has been assigned to the family of George W. Tucker. The Lemuel in question was born in 1814, according to descendants (and 1820--per census). So, he could fit into some of the missing gaps of the G.W. Tucker family. Of further interest is the fact that there was a Lemuel Tucker in Lincoln Co. TN very early on. I know that he has been assigned to the family of Capt. Robt. Tucker (check out Gary Wilson Tucker's website). Also, of interest is the fact that John B. Tucker, who married Frances "Fanny" Smith in Lincoln Co. TN migrated on into Texas Co. MO. He was there by 1860 (even served in the CW from Texas Co. MO). His brother, David Tucker who married Sarah SOWELLS in Coffee Co. TN, was also in Ozark Co. MO in the 1850 census. So, while this isn't anything conclusive, it points to John B. and David perhaps being related to Lemuel (who was in Dent Co. MO in 1870). Some of David's children were born in White Co. TN. Another interesting fact is that my great-aunt, Malinda (Tucker) Lane also settled in Texas Co. MO VERY close to these other Tuckers. She and her husband, Thomas Porter Lane, are buried in the Hamilton Cemetery near Cabool in Texas Co. MO. To make this even more interesting, John B. Tucker's daughter, Elizabeth married Matthew HAMILTON. So, it would seem that the Lincoln Co. TN Tuckers (who migrated mostly from NC) were also PROBABLY very closely related to the White/Warren Co. TN Tuckers. I would very much appreciate any information that anyone might have on the above mentioned Lemuel Tucker and the Leroy Tucker that is mentioned.
